STANDARD RETAINING WALLGENERAL NOTES

Reinforcing steel shall conform to A 615, Grade 60. All

splices, not shown, shall be lapped as per Bar Lap Charts.

Minimum cover for any bar shall be 2’’ unless otherwise

noted, with the exception of bars at the bottom and sides of

all footings which shall have 3’’ minimum cover.

For Wall Types E and F, passive earth pressure from top

of footing to bottom of shear key was utilized in the design.

In these cases, the top of footing shall have a minimum of

30’’ cover.

Safe bearing pressures are factored resistances.

If the front face of a retaining wall less than 10 feet from

the edge of paved surfaces, epoxy coated reinforcement shall

be used in the front face of the stem and Mix. No. 6 (4500 psi)

concrete shall be used for the stem.

ONLY GRADE 60 CAN BE USED.
